Half an hour later, Anna called Damon. They had found a spell that would make it possible for Elena to come back as a human and not a vampire.
''We found something in the journals of Jonathan Gilbert,'' she said passing the phone to John, fearing giving something away.
''Jonathan wrote the story of a mother, she called on Emily's services, her baby was sick and dying Emily casted an spell that would bind the woman's life source with the one of her child.''
''Skip to the save Elena part.''
''The child died, but the mother's life source flowed through her veins, restoring her to life.''
''We already know that if Elena comes back, she'll be a vampire.'' Jeremy pointed out.
''Not if her soul remains intact.''
''Her soul, really?'' Damon scoffed. ''You are going to put your faith in some act of God?''
''I refuse to let my daughter turn into a vampire. So call it faith, but yes, I am putting my faith in it''
Bonnie was putting her hands against John's, her eyes closed as she muttered a spell. ''Come on, Bonnie'' Damon snapped. ''We have a hybrid to kill.''
Bonnie opened here eyes almost immediately after Damon talked. ''It's done.''
When Bonnie turned to say goodbye to Jeremy, Anna approached Damon and nuzzled her head against his neck.
''Thanks for going to save Jeremy and Tyler.''
''At least Jenna is safe.''
''Are you sure you don't want me to go?''
''And watch your sister be killed?'' Damon winced. ''No thanks, plus how would you protect yourself?''
''Be safe'' Anna kissed him- ''And most of all, come back alive.''
''I will.'' Damon promised, ignoring the fact of a werewolf bite being on his arm.
''We should have heard of them by now.'' Alaric murmured as he leaned against the doorway.
Annabella was finishing reading the spell Bonnie had performed. ''John, did you read all of this?''
''I did.''John said, seemingly unaffected by the spell's results.
''So you know what happened after the daughter was reborn. You know that the mother died.''
''Her baby was alive. She found peace.'' John saw his adoptive niece's upset face and handed her a letter and his ring. ''Give these to Elena and take care of yourself and your siblings.''
Anna gulped, she couldn't believe that she was actually feeling bad about John being about to die. ''Thank you John.''
Jeremy came downstairs. ''They're here!''
The eldest remaining Gilberts rushed upstairs and found Damon laying Elena on the couch. ''How is she?'' Anna asked noticing the non-existent movement of her adoptive sister's chest.
''I don't know yet.''
''What about Klaus?''
''Is he dead?''
''Elijah backed out last minute. Klaus is still alive.''Damon said furiously.
Elena suddenly sat up, gasping for air. ''Elena!''
''What happened?'' She asked.
''How do you feel?''
''I feel fine.'' Elena gave a relieved smile. ''I feel human.''
Damon saw as Anna, Elena, and the rest of Elena's friend's left the cemetery after John's short funeral the following morning. Stefan approached him. ''We're heading back to the house.''
''I think I'll skip the coffee and tea cakes.''
Stefan sighed. ''Damon, Anna will need you right now.''
''And then what's the plan, Stefan? The curse is broken. How does one go about killing an all-powerful wolf vamp and his two-faced older brother?''
''I have no idea.'' Damon turns around to look at Stefan. ''We need to get an idea. Fast.''
''I'm not going to let them lose anybody else. Thye have already lost enough. ''
''I wouldn't make any promises, brother.''
''What's that supposed to mean?''
''Tyler Lockwood bit me.'' Damon pulls up his sleeve and shows Stefan the bite, which has gotten even worse. Stefan walks over to him with a look of anguish on his face.
Damon looks down at the bite. ''It's actually more of a nip, really, but there it is.''
Stefan takes Damon's arm and examines the bite.
''We'll find something. A cure.''
''There's no cure, Stefan.'' Damon and Stefan look off across the graveyard. Stefan looks back at Damon.
''We kept Elena human, right? We found the way when there was no way. Hey.'' Damon turns his head and faces Stefan. ''I will do this.''
''You want to do something for me? Keep this from Anna. Last thing she needs is another grave to mourn.''
OMG! So excited to end Season 2. After it ends, I'll post a chapter or two about her life before the story and then we'll go towards Season 3 with a few twists and turns.
